SACRAMENTO, CA — California's Proposition 37, the ballot measure that would create a state-backed loan program that could help middle-income Californians buy newly built homes amid affordability challenges, was projected to pass Tuesday night, according to the Associated Press.
The Associated Press called the race at 9:06 p.m. with 46% of votes counted.
The measure would authorize up to $25 billion in bonds to support a loan program aimed at helping middle-income Californians purchase homes.
Proposition 37 would provide financial assistance to eligible middle-income homebuyers purchasing newly constructed homes that meet the program's requirements. The assistance is intended to help buyers overcome the upfront costs associated with purchasing a home.

Supporters of the measure argue that helping middle-income Californians purchase newly built homes could expand homeownership while also encouraging construction.
Opponents have said the measure would encourage homebuyers to take on additional debt without addressing the underlying causes of the state's housing affordability crisis. They also said it could leave buyers with a second monthly payment in addition to their primary mortgage and other home expenses.
